suggest reforms for peace throughout world the sino-japanese situation in manchuria struck fire in the closing period of the first plenary session of the model assembly of the lea gue of nations held this morning in packard auditorium the far east question gained at tention first with the report of the japanese delegation which attempt ed to exonerate itself for its tactics in manchuria the chinese delega tion after the assembly had re cessed for a few minutes replied to the nipponese spokesman the japanese speaker contended that japan incited by economic and strategic motives in manchuria had protected her interests by un dertaking improvements in that country the last of which by ex pelling rebellious war lords had incurred the clash of world inter ests japanese improvements in man churia were held to total approxi mately 1,000,000,000 and these were justified on the grounds that they aided the production of raw materials in a country which sup plied the demands of 66,000,000 jap anese people increasing at the rate of 900,000 per year manchuria was additionally cited as a great market for japanese finished products conditions under the chinese rulers in

meeting in the form of a sur prise address the chinese delegate based his entire argument on the contents of the lytton report on the far east contention and gave few direct ar guments to the statements of the japanese delegate the obvious affront of the japan ese delegation in citing china as being below the status of a nation as contemplated in the covenant of the league was entirely ignored in the address of the chinese dele gate india fears jap imperialism general discussion of world top ics by members of various visiting delegations was started after open ing preliminary
